Rated 22 kAIC at 120/240VAC, this high-interrupting GFCI breaker handles demanding commercial and industrial environments. The 2-pole, 15A Siemens BF215AH installs into P1, P2, and P3 panelboards via a sturdy bolt-on connection. While superseded by the B215GFH in newer catalogs, it delivers Class A (5mA) ground fault protection, utilizes fixed thermal-magnetic trip technology, and includes self-test capabilities to ensure ongoing personnel safety.

Product FAQs
5 answers
Can I install the BF215AH in a standard Siemens load center?
No. The BF215AH is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for Siemens P1, P2, and P3 commercial panelboards. Standard residential load centers require plug-on breakers.
What does the H signify in the BF215AH part number?
The H indicates a high-interrupting rating. While standard BF215A breakers are rated at 10kAIC, this model provides a 22kAIC rating at 240V for systems with higher available fault current.
What type of ground fault protection does this breaker provide?
It provides Class A personnel protection, meaning the breaker is designed to trip when it detects a ground fault current of 5mA.
How is the ground fault circuit completed during installation?
The breaker includes a pigtail neutral wire that must be routed and secured to the panelboard neutral bar. The load neutral must also be connected directly to the breaker for the GFCI circuitry to operate properly.
Has the BF215AH been replaced by a newer catalog number?
Yes, Siemens has superseded the BF215AH with the B215GFH in newer catalogs. Both models share the same 15A, 2-pole, 22kAIC bolt-on GFCI specifications.
